At SC Johnson, we have long believed that businesshas both an opportunity and an obligation to makethe world better. Over the years, this belief has fueled

advances in products, our operations, and how we invest ingrowing our business and supporting our communities.

Our latest environmental strategy focuses on ndingways to minimize landll waste, further managingour footprint through greenhouse gas reductionand continuing to improve product chemistry.As in any year, we have seen some challenges,but we also have made notable progress.

The 2012/13 year brought signicant investment inincreasing our use of renewable energy. In December,we launched two wind turbines at our largest globalmanufacturing facility. Combined with two existing cogenerationunits, the turbines enable the facility to generate, on average, 100percent of its electrical energy onsite. In June, we began using

purchased wind power for our manufacturing facility in Toluca,Mexico. In addition, we renewed and expanded our wind powerpurchase agreement for our facility in Bay City, Michigan.

We also have continued to pursue the twin goals of advancingour products and packaging, while working to minimizeproduct-related waste. While our Greenlist™ numbers for the yeardeclined due to some recalibration, as explained on page 9, wealso invested in Greenlist™ training to further support productdevelopment efforts. In addition, we once again focused on

engaging with consumers about environmental topics, including

introducing two new product lines in our Green ChoicesMarketplace that target reduced landll waste: our Smart Twist ™cleaning system and Ziploc ® Brand compostable bags for

commercial compost programs.

At the same time that we’ve taken action within thecompany, SC Johnson has also continued our legacy

of investing in sustainable development. In 2012/13,we sponsored The Regeneration Roadmap, aninitiative by GlobeScan and SustainAbility tomap out sustainable development for the nextgeneration. The ndings, featured on page 32,

provide insights on the leadership role the privatesector must play for future sustainable development.

And, as always, SC Johnson continued investing during2012/13 in making life better for families, including philanthropiccontributions, malaria and dengue awareness programs, and ourongoing support of farming communities in Rwanda.

Together, these efforts embody SC Johnson’s continuing,360-degree commitment to the environment and to servingthe greater good. It’s a commitment the people of SC Johnsonwork to uphold each and every day, and I am incredibly proudof the positive impact for future generations.

Business ProlePrinciples and StakeholdersIn 1927, then-company leader Herbert F. Johnson, Sr., summarized thecompany’s core beliefs by saying: “The goodwill of people is the onlyenduring thing in any business. It is the sole substance. The rest is shadow.”

This philosophy, which was formally stated in 1976, explains SC Johnson’sprinciples and expectations in relation to the groups of people to whomwe are responsible and whose trust we have to earn.

At SC Johnson, we believe everyone is accountable for thinking about sustainabilityand taking a responsible approach to how we operate around the world.

Our Sustainability Commitment

COMPANY

Approximately 130 SC Johnson people holdroles with specic sustainability objectives,but we believe that leading in sustainabilityis part of everyone’s role. As a result, ratherthan making environmental responsibilitya separate function within SC Johnson, it is

a shared objective. Senior leaders throughoutthe company have environmental targets aspart of their accountability.

The Power of PartnershipsWe also recognize that along with what we canaccomplish on our own, working with partnerscan help us have an even greater impact. Duringour 2012/13 scal year, this included:

• Participating in The Consumer Goods Forum,including its Global Packaging Project andresolution on net zero deforestation.www.theconsumergoodsforum.com

• Consulting with the Biodegradable ProductsInstitute to ensure our new Ziploc ® Brandcompostable bags meet standards and earncertication. See page 15.

• Participating in wind power programs withpartners in Michigan, USA, and Toluca, Mexico,to increase use of renewable energy at ourmanufacturing facilities. See page 17.

• Collaborating with the Bill & Melinda GatesFoundation on projects working to combatthe spread of malaria. See page 25.

• Working with the U.S. Agency for InternationalDevelopment (USAID) and The Norman

Borlaug Institute for International Agricultureat Texas A&M University to help pyrethrumfarmers in Rwanda. See page 26.

Responsible ReportingSC Johnson is in its 22nd year of publiclyreporting progress on its sustainability objectives.This edition covers activity since July 2012 exceptwhere otherwise noted.

When we began publicly reporting on sustainabilityprogress, there were no guidelines for doing so.We simply believed measuring our progress andsharing the results was the right thing to do. Today,we consider global best practices for reporting,while maintaining condential information as aprivate company.

When SC Johnson scientists create a newproduct or reformulate an existing one, they usethe company’s internally developed Greenlist™environmental classication process to selectingredients.

Our goal is to annually increase the proportionof ingredients in our products that have a lesserimpact on the environment and human health.All SC Johnson products meet legal and regula-tory requirements; the Greenlist™ process goesa step further by providing data to enablecontinuous improvement.

How It WorksUsing our Greenlist™ process, each potentialingredient is rated as “Best,” “Better,” “Good”or “0-rated,” for materials that can be used onlyin special circumstances. Since 2001, we haveincreased the percentage of “Better” or “Best”ingredients from 18 percent to 44 percent.

SC Johnson’s 2012/13 Greenlist™ scores aredown somewhat from prior years, in part due toa recalibration that we put in place. In 2011/12, thescore of high density polyethylene was changedin error, a fact which was corrected in this report.Ongoing review and recalibration is key to keeping

the Greenlist™ process robust and meaningful.Our 2012/13 results were also affected by otherfactors, including newly acquired products thatwe are working to bring up to our standards.

In addition, the company is investing in ongoinginternal training related to the Greenlist™ process,to drive continuing advancements. Over the years,using Greenlist™ has led to phasing out numerousless-desirable ingredients in favor of better choices.Examples include polyvinyl chloride and theinsecticides DDVP and propoxur.

With our internally developed Greenlist™ process, SC Johnson works to continuouslyselect better ingredient options and improve our products and packaging.

Over the past few years, SC Johnson has beenexperimenting with concentrated cleaner rellsas a way to minimize packaging waste. Americanconsumers buy 320 million cleaning products intrigger bottles each year, and millions of them endup in landlls. If just 20 percent of those 320 million

bottles were relled rather than discarded, it couldsave millions of pounds of plastic.

To seize this opportunity, in July 2011 SC Johnsonlaunched an online test of Windex ® Mini concen-trated rell pouch. We hoped to build awarenessand dialogue about concentrates, and we heardfrom more than a thousand consumers with inputabout concentrates and their use. Using thatinsight, in 2012 we launched a full concentrateslineup in easy-to-pour, recyclable mini bottles.

Introducing the Smart Twist ™Cleaning SystemThis past year brought the national launchof yet another concentrated cleaning option:the innovative Smart Twist ™ cleaning system,

which builds on insights from an earlier testlaunch in two key U.S. markets. The Smart Twist ™cleaning system is a reusable sprayer that employsconcentrated rells. The sprayer draws justthe right amount of water and mixes it with theconcentrate for optimal performance. Consumers

just ll the sprayer’s water chamber with tapwater and twist to switch between cleaners.

Choosing to use the Smart Twist ™ cleaningsystem and its cartridges helps minimize wastegoing to landlls. Compared to a standard spraybottle, the cartridges:

• Require 63 percent less plastic

• Avoid transporting 18.7 to 22.7 . oz. of water,

depending on the formulaThe cartridges also can be recycled in mostcommunity recycling programs.

SC Johnson now sells both Mini and SmartTwist ™ rells for fantastik ®, Pledge ®, ScrubbingBubbles ®, Shout ® and Windex ®. Learn more atwww.scjgreenchoices.com/store

Continuing our efforts to drive awareness of low-waste cleaning options, in 2013SC Johnson launched the rellable Smart Twist ™ cleaning system.

In SC Johnson’s latest ve-year environmentalstrategy, we specically call out waste-reductionobjectives related to productsand packaging. We’re workingto increase post-consumerrecycled content across our

product packaging, decreasepackaging overall, and offset virginmaterial use through partnershipsand packaging advances.

A Better, LighterMr Muscle ® BottleAn example of recent efforts hasbeen a redesign of Mr Muscle ®

Cleaner packaging implementedin multiple countries around the

globe. It targets our goal of decreasing packagingoverall. By selecting a new, lighter-weight trigger

spray bottle and harmonizingbottles across markets, thecompany is saving more than900,000 pounds of resin on

bottles annually. The bottles willbe about 9 percent lighter, whichalso reduces shipping weight.

An overall company projectto systematically review andstrategically minimize productmaterials led to further reductionsin 2012/13, including a nearly1.5 million pound reduction in

corrugate use.

As part of our environmental strategy, SC Johnson is working to reduce packaging andincrease recycling of our products.

Through 2012, 10 of SC Johnson’s manufacturingfacilities around the globe had achieved diversionrates of at least 90 percent, including factories inNorth America, Asia, Latin America and Africa.

In addition, the company continues to pursue“zero landll” status for operations. We dene thisas eliminating all materials going to landll throughreuse and recycling and, ultimately, without the useof incineration.

Seven SC Johnson sites are currently considered zerolandll: two in China and one each in Pakistan, TheNetherlands, the United States, Poland and Canada.The U.S. site, our Bay City, Michigan, manufacturingfacility, recycled more than 6.3 million pounds of

waste in 2012/13 and has diverted 100 percent ofits waste from landlls since November 2011.

New Technologies Help SaveBay City also introduced an initiative in 2012 that ishelping minimize water waste. Water used to coolthe high-speed manufacturing lines that produceZiploc ® Brand Slider Bags is now being recirculatedthrough a closed-loop system. Since its installation,

the system has already drastically reduced overallwater consumption. Annually, it’s expected to cutwater use by around 800,000 gallons.

Targeting Global Waste ReductionSC Johnson continues to progress toward its2016 objective of reducing global manufacturingcombined air emissions, water efuents and solidwaste by 70 percent. Through 2012, we reached

a 62 percent reduction compared to our 2000baseline, as a ratio to production.

An important aspect of SC Johnson’s 2016environmental objectives is minimizing wasteby managing packaging. The companyhas set targets for increasing post-consumer-recycled content acrossproduct packaging, decreasing

packaging across product linesand offsetting virgin material use.Product development efforts areunderway as we work towardthese improvements.

ReducingPackaging withSmarter DesignIn 2012/13, variousefforts targeted paperand cardboard reductionin product packaging.For example, removingthe cardboard partition

within Toilet Duck ® packages in Thailandeliminated 128,000 pounds of corrugate

annually. But beyond continuouslyimproving our products themselves,

we also continuously look foropportunities throughout other

steps in the supply chain.

For instance, the bulk shipperfor Glade ® Sense & Spray ® Automatic Freshener mini-

aerosol rells was recentlyredesigned to hold 20

to 90 percent moreproduct, dependingon the unit size.

The result of thisdesign improvementis a savings of

172,000 pounds ofcorrugate annually.

Making Recycling Easy at WorkSC Johnson operations continue taking steps to increase recycling and minimize waste. Here are

just three examples, from the company’s facilities in Wisconsin:

• Employees took advantage of the hundreds of recycling bins located on SC Johnson campuses.In our Shred-It condential recycling bins alone, about 615,000 pounds of paper were captured forshredding and recycling, equal to saving more than 3,600 trees.

• Company cafeterias discourage waste, too, including using plant-based cold beverage cups;corn-based disposable forks, knives and spoons; and compostable containers for to-go items.

• During a one-week recycling event across the company’s U.S. campuses, almost 30,000 pounds

of electronics, more than 1,000 batteries and nearly 100 cell phones were collected for recycling.

Along with efforts to reduce the waste associated with products, SC Johnsonis working to increase recycling among both consumers and employees.

In May, SC Johnson launched compostable bagsfrom the Ziploc ® Brand. The bags are designed foruse in commercial composting facilities that acceptfood scraps and compostable bags.* The new bagsprovide a compostable storage solution that helpsavoid plastic ending up in landlls, yet gives

consumers the food freshness and conveniencethey expect from the Ziploc ® Brand.

At the same time, the bags help draw attentionto commercial composting programs by puttingthe well-known Ziploc ® Brand behind themand, hopefully, encourage more communitiesto launch them.

The Benets ofCommercial CompostingZiploc ® Brand compostable bags are designedfor commercial and curbside composting programs,which are taking hold in a limited but growingnumber of communities. Because of their sizeand scope, commercial composters can reliablycreate the conditions needed for compostingbio-plastics — a delicate balance of temperature,air ow, moisture and other factors. Bio-plastics

generally can’t be composted at home.

The bags are being sold initially throughSC Johnson’s online Green Choices Marketplaceat www.scjgreenchoices.com/store . Since thebags are only for commercial composting, sellingthrough this special channel enables us to dedicatespace to educating about the bags and how they

should be used, and also to invite dialogue andfeedback from consumers.

Ziploc ® Brand compostable bags are certiedcompostable under ASTM D6400 by theBiodegradable Products Institute.

With new Ziploc ® Brand compostable bags for commercial composting programs,

SC Johnson is helping spotlight composting and its role in minimizing waste.

Producing Compost, TooSince selling the Edge ® and Skintimate ® brands to Energizer Holdings Inc. in 2009, SC Johnson has continued manufacturingproducts in Wisconsin through a sourcing agreement. In 2011, we launched a test to determine if the waste material that resultsfrom producing shave gel could be recycled for use as compost. Following an extensive test and validation, in 2013 the WisconsinDepartment of Natural Resources issued a composting permit for high volume industrial waste to our partner, The Farm’sComposting. This means SC Johnson can continue to divert waste from landlls and instead convert the material to a suitablefeedstock for yard waste composting. We anticipate 385,000 pounds of waste material will be diverted and used for compostannually. The compost will be used by SC Johnson for landscaping purposes at our Wisconsin locations.

* Consumers should check locally to see if such a facility exists in theircommunity. Not suitable for backyard composting.

The 2012/13 year brought numerous advancesin SC Johnson’s efforts to improve energy useand reduce dependence on fossil fuels. First,in December, we powered up two wind turbinesat our largest global manufacturing facility,Waxdale. Combined with the cogeneration

systems already in place, the facility is nowable to generate, on average, 100 percentof its electrical energy onsite.

Introducing Wind Power in MexicoIn June, SC Johnson initiated an agreement topurchase wind power for our manufacturingfacility in Toluca, Mexico, as part of the ComisiónFederal de Electricidad’s (CFE/Federal ElectricityCommission) wind farm program.

The agreement will enable SC Johnson toincrease use of renewable electricity at Tolucato an estimated 86 percent, up by 65 percent,and to decrease greenhouse gas emissions thereby 57 percent. The program gets its clean energyfrom turbines in Oaxaca.

Expanding Wind Energy in MichiganSince 2008, SC Johnson has been purchasingwind power from a dedicated nearby wind farm tohelp power our Bay City, Michigan, manufacturingfacility, which produces Ziploc ® Brand bags. Overthe years, this has helped keep about 28,000*

metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions outof the atmosphere annually.

In 2013, we increased these wind power purchasesby 50 percent, representing an additional 14,000metric ton reduction in greenhouse gas emissionsper year at Bay City. This, along with the originalpurchasing agreement, results in a total reductionof 42,000 metric tons per year.

Other Renewable Sources, TooIn addition to our wind power programs,SC Johnson continues to pursue other renewableenergy efforts, including biofuels in Indonesiaand solar energy in China (see pages 18 and 19).The company is exploring an additional biomassinitiative that may launch in the coming year.

With new energy projects at several SC Johnson sites, the company has continued toreduce its dependence on fossil fuels.

Tracking Greenhouse Gas EmissionsSC Johnson’s greenhouse gas emission reductiongoal from 2011 to 2016 is to reduce emissionsby 10 percent, which means improving on the42 percent reduction achieved in 2011 to reacha 48 percent reduction by 2016.

In 2012, however, our progress fell a little short, asshown in the chart to the right. Emissions were upthree percent, which translates to a 1.8 percentagepoint change versus our 2000 baseline.

That said, results for 2013 are tracking in theright direction, with emissions down signicantlyversus the expected pacing. This positive changeis due to our new U.S. wind turbines being fully

operational in 2013, as well as the additionalwind energy purchases being made elsewherearound the world (see page 17).

Increasing Renewable Energy UseFocusing on use of renewable energy globally,in 2012 SC Johnson held steady with 30 percentof energy coming from renewable sources. Again,we anticipate this number will change with the

advances underway in 2013.Last year, we began reporting on total renewableenergy use; previously we tracked just electricityusage from renewable sources. Reporting totalrenewable energy is in line with industry standardsand also enables us to track elements such asour palm shell and rice husk energy recovery inIndonesia and cogeneration in the United States.

The company’s goal is to get 33 percent of totalenergy globally from renewable sources by 2016.

Decreasing Energy Consumption for DataLike most companies, a signicant source of energy consumption atSC Johnson’s headquarters is our data center, which runs hundreds ofcomputer servers and thousands of applications that support our operationsin the U.S. and internationally. Over the past four years, we’ve installed faster,more energy-efcient servers that have doubled the data center’s computing

power while decreasing energy consumption nearly 23 percent.

Smarter TransportSince joining the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency’s voluntary SmartWay ® TransportPartnership in 2007, SC Johnson has eliminated105,734 tons of CO2 emissions from our U.S.freight operations. The partnership aims to

reduce transportation-related emissions bycreating incentives to improve supply chainfuel efciency. Our reductions come mainlyfrom converting our U.S. shipping lanes tointermodal transport, an efcient combinationof truck and rail carrier services.

Since 2009, SC Johnson has been working with partners to help farmers in Rwanda

increase their incomes and standards of living. Our efforts continued in 2012/13.

Helping Farming Families in Rwanda

Through a partnership with the U.S. Agencyfor International Development (USAID) andThe Norman Borlaug Institute for InternationalAgriculture, at Texas A&M University SC Johnsonhas been working to help strengthen and expandthe capacity of local farming cooperativeorganizations in Rwanda and to further increaseproduction and quality of the pyrethrum (py)they farm. The goal is to help farming familiesincrease incomes and standards of living.

SC Johnson has renewed its investment in theprogram for another three years. Among other

elements of the program, the farmers receivetraining in nancial management and other skillsthat equip them to be more effective in theirbusiness operations. During the program, cropyields have been enhanced and growth hasexceeded project objectives.

Pyrethrum, or py, is an insecticide extracted fromthe dried ower heads of chrysanthemums. Asthe world’s leading manufacturer of insect controlproducts, SC Johnson needs a consistent supply ofpy for some of its well-known consumer insecticideproducts, such as Raid ® and Baygon ®.

SC Johnson’s efforts inRwanda in 2013 includedsustainability training.

Along with classroomsessions (top right) todiscuss tools such aslifecycle analysis, theparticipants also tookan observational eldtrip to the KZ Noir Ltd.CAFERWA/NKORA CoffeeWashing Station to viewand discuss sustainabilitypractices (top left).

A look at ndings fromThe RegenerationRoadmap, a keyinitiative sponsoredby SC Johnsonin 2012/13.

Investing inSustainable Development






Importantly, The Regeneration Consumer Studyalso identied an important consumer group totarget — the “Aspirationals,” who represent notonly the largest consumer segment, but alsothe group that wants to be sustainable in theirpurchases and beliefs.

The report Re:Thinking Consumption explains,“Aspirationals care about style (65%), social status(52%) and equate shopping with happiness (70%).Yet, they are also among the most likely to believethat we need to ‘consume a lot less to improve the

environment for future generations’ (73%), high-lighting the gap between aspirations and action.”

Building on this insight, companies like SC Johnsonneed to nd effective ways of bringing environ-mental choices to the forefront when consumersgo shopping — particularly Aspirationals — andhelping explain their benets. There is signicantopportunity to engage with these consumers,since Aspirationals actively seek informationfrom online social networks.

The Roadmap for the FutureAlong with consumer research, The RegenerationRoadmap project gathered a wide array of inputregarding sustainable development needs for com-ing generations. The team conducted interviewswith sustainability pioneers, held dialogues withthought leaders and conducted multiple surveysto explore attitudes and perceptions.

The result, explains GlobeScan CEO Chris Coulter,was three fundamental conclusions: “First, in orderto accelerate and scale progress on sustainability,we must address the issue of system change.Second, our collective success will only come froman enabling context that is based on greater trust,better collaboration anddifferent leadership.And third, a new formof leadership is neededspecically from global

companies in the shortterm to kick start abroader transition toa more sustainableway of living.”

Adds Mark Lee, Executive Director of Sustain-Ability, “One of the important recommendationsof The Regeneration Roadmap is that globalcompanies stretch themselves to what we call

extended leadership — leadership that goesbeyond a company’s individual performance

The Regeneration Consumer Study identied Aspirationals

— the largest consumer segment — as highly inuential indriving future consumer habits. They are materialistically

oriented but also aspire to make green choices.

Asked about how often they make sustainable behavior choices,respondents indicated their most common sustainable behaviorsare recycling and using reusable shopping bags.

and incorporates effortsto reshape the broadersystemic context. We aregrateful for SC Johnson’sparticipation and supportin creating our ExtendedLeadership framework andlook forward to workingtogether to implement thisacross the economy.”

The Regeneration Roadmap’s nal report,Changing Tack , also highlights transparency —

an aspiration SC Johnson has been working towardfor some time. The report notes, “Companies needto leverage more effective and extensive meansof transparency, which will provide better externalsignals and optimize awareness and decision-mak-ing of all players in the system. Those companiesthat lead the way also stand to benet, not onlyby earning higher levels of trust to help navigateinevitable challenges, but also by inviting reactionsand corresponding disclosures from others…”

Transparency is not without challenges. Providingopen information about products or processescan provide insights for competitors and raisequestions for consumers; however, we believeit is fundamental to enabling consumers to makegreen choices.

A Resource for the FutureClearly, this summary merely touches on the manyinsights provided by The Regeneration Roadmap.SC Johnson was proud to help bring the initiativeto life, and we are very pleased to help spreadthe word about its ndings. As a family company,our focus is never on short-term results, but onsustainable, responsible actions for the future.We believe that dialogue like that generated byThe Regeneration Roadmap is fundamental toensuring progress for generations to come.
